Evaluation of green space systems in small towns of Kyiv region

Abstract

We analysed the current state of greening of small towns in the Kyiv region; small towns constitute 80% of all towns and cities in the region. A difference is shown to exist between the classification of green plantings that is used in Ukraine and the world-wide approach of green infrastructure. This makes it incorrect to compare the indicators of landscaping of towns in Ukraine against those of other countries. Based on the data of Master Plans of towns, the generally accepted indicators of landscaping of urban areas were calculated: provision of greenery per capita and level of landscaping. These indicators of landscaping for small towns were analysed according to different approaches. It is found that, according to the traditional calculation, the provision of green plantations exceeds 300 m2 per capita for only 5% of small towns of the region, but for 70% according to the approach of green infrastructure. The provision of green areas for public use meets the established state standards (8–11 m2 per capita) for only 35% of small towns in the region. Small towns are grouped into four clusters according to the similarity of landscaping indicators, where only the difference in the availability of green plantings of public use was unreliable among the clusters.

impact of foreign trade development on the organization of socio-economic security of Ukraine

“…Zaichenko & Dima (2021) consider economic security as a qualitative characteristic of the economic system, which determines its ability to maintain living conditions and to provide resources for the development of the national economy and the consistent realization of state interests. Typically, research by Ukrainian scholars on the formation of a system of socio-economic security focuses on determining the conditions for the implementation of security-oriented management, taking into account the negative impact of the operating environment (Vasyltsiv et al, 2018;Havlovska, 2016;Illiashenko et al, 2020;Oliinyk et al 2020;Ilyash et al 2021;Yukhnovskyi et al 2021). Researching securityoriented management, Prytys (2020) and Petreman & Dubych (2021) focus on the circumstances within which operating conditions that can positively affect the state of economic security while implementing the overall development strategy are formed.…”
